St. Mariae Himmelfahrt (Ochtrup)
The Catholic branch church St. Mariae Himmelfahrt (also Marienkirche) is a listed church building in Ochtrup in the Steinfurt district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
History and architecture
The broad, sparingly windowed clinker building under a flat gable roof was built from 1951 to 1953 under the direction of Dominikus Böhm . The eastern part looks like a transept, the compact north-west tower is connected via the low intermediate wing. The tower was formerly equipped with a crypt . The segment-arched apse , drawn up to the ridge, has no windows. The entrance front is emphasized by a large round window made of black tuff stone . The tower has columnar sound openings. The originally white Rabitz plastered ceiling rested over slender steel pillars; it was replaced by a wooden ceiling in 1965. The tower serves as a baptistery, the gate-like openings were equipped with colored windows by Hubertus Brouwer in 1953. The 1962 windows in the nave are also from Brouwer.
